Definitions
- the present invention relates to a fine-cut Teüuantveveck for self-manufacture of cigarettes by means of a cigarette paper sleeve and a stuffing device with piston or a loose, free-hand rod-shaped piston.
- tobacco cartridges with a non-smokable and therefore perforated sheath have proven unsuitable for the consumer, because the entire length of the cartridges had to be pushed completely into the cigarette paper sleeve with the piston via an insert or because when the compressed tobacco rod was transferred into the cigarette paper sleeve, frictional resistances had to be overcome, which made it difficult for the consumer to transfer the tobacco portion into the cigarette paper sleeve abrauchte.
- Envelope of the tobacco rod provided film material is either not sufficient on its inner surface with regard to sliding to easily insert the fine-cut tobacco insert into the cigarette tube, and / or on its outer surface is too smooth, so that the tobacco cartridge already inserted into the cigarette tube when tilted or otherwise clumsy Manipulation slips out of the cigarette tube before the tobacco insert can be transferred to the latter.
- electrostatic frictional forces can occur when the tobacco rod is pushed out, which are a hindrance.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of proposing an economically producible and visually appealing fine-cut partial quantity packaging which, on the one hand, enables the tobacco rod to be transferred easily and smoothly from this packaging into the cigarette paper sleeve and, on the other hand, is designed on the outer surface in such a way that it is made once Despite being easy to insert into the cigarette paper sleeve, it cannot slip out of it and, on the other hand, it can be printed with warning notices to inform the consumer that the part-quantity packaging itself cannot be smoked.
- a fine-cut partial packaging analogous to the type mentioned last is proposed, which is characterized in that the wrapping surrounding the tobacco insert is at least 0.5 cm longer than the cigarette paper sleeve intended for filling and consists of a paper-laminated aluminum foil which can be printed on the outside , whose static friction number measured on the inner surface of the aluminum foil according to DIN 53 375 is less than 0.6 and whose sliding friction number is in the range from 0.15 to 0.5, and that the stuffing density of the tobacco insert is at least 4 to 20% below that desired for the stuffed cigarette Value.
- the partial quantity packaging according to the invention for fine cuts not only enables the tobacco to be inserted into the cigarette paper sleeve, that is to say when compacting, a uniform packing density over the entire length and thus a uniform per-pass offer because (a) the wrapping surrounding the tobacco insert is at least 0.5 cm longer than the cigarette paper sleeve intended for filling and (b) the stuffing density of the tobacco insert is at least 4 to 20% below the value desired for the stuffed cigarette, but surprisingly also leads to the outer diameter of the partial packaging being dimensioned such that it can be easily inserted into the cigarette paper sleeve, but does not accidentally slip out of the cigarette paper sleeve because of the paper-coated outer surface, but on the other hand, because of its smooth inner surface made of aluminum foil, a sufficiently low sliding or static friction for smooth operation En pushing out the tobacco rod and easier handling of the respective tamping devices. Finally, the material properties of the paper-coated outer surface of the wrapper not only enable an advantageous optical and haptic design
- the wrapping preferably consists of a paper-laminated aluminum foil, the inside of which is coated in strip-shaped partial areas or over its entire area with a lubricating varnish and which has a sliding friction coefficient according to DEN 53 375 in the range from 0.15 to 0.3.
- a full-surface lubricating lacquer coating is usually simpler in film production, although a strip-shaped coating, for example in the longitudinal direction, leads to material savings and hardly impairs the easy pressing out of the tobacco filling.
- the paper-laminated film has a wall thickness of 0.5 to 0.005 mm, which expediently consists of a 6 to 20 ⁇ m thick aluminum foil, the paper lamination of which is 10 to 40 g / m 2 . It is particularly advantageous if the inner surface of the aluminum foil is coated with a lubricating varnish which can be sealed to the paper-laminated outer surface of the foil at temperatures of 50 to 200 ° C. In particular, the inner surface of the aluminum foil should be coated at least in the area of the coaxial adhesive seam with a lacquer that can be sealed at 50 to 200 ° C.
- the wrapping surrounding the tobacco insert has a visible perforation, preferably in a ring shape, at a short distance from the two end regions thereof.
- a visible perforation preferably in a ring shape
- the short distance to the end regions mentioned is about 5 mm and thus lies in an area such that the longer portion packaging inserted into the shorter cigarette paper sleeve, with its perforation, still protrudes from the cigarette paper sleeve.
- the perforation should also be visible and preferably has a hole size of 0.2 to 0.4 mm.
- the appropriately ring-shaped perforation is provided at both end regions of the partial packaging, since it is unpredictable with which end the consumer will introduce the partial packaging into the cigarette paper sleeve.
- the partial packaging - i.e. the wrapping tube, open at both ends, made of the non-smokable paper-clad aluminum foil with the fine-cut insert - is inserted into the cigarette paper sleeve either with a stuffing device or by hand.
- an end of the packaging which is at least about 0.5 cm long protrudes from the sleeve and can easily be held between two fingers or by a flexible sleeve of a tamping device.
- This intermediate product, with the end of the partial packaging protruding by about 0.5 cm or more, cannot be smoked even as a cigarette by the most clumsy smoker.
- the consumer that is to say the “self-tamper” - (a) either press the fine-cut part quantity with little compression from the tubular packaging into the cigarette paper sleeve with an additional device, namely a stuffing device with a piston, or (b ) the consumer holds the protruding or protruding outer end of the packaging from the cigarette paper sleeve with his fingers, preferably his index finger and thumb, and then with a loose, free-hand-handled rod-shaped piston or with a pen, the fine-cut portion with little compression from the to push tubular packaging into the cigarette paper sleeve, creating the self-stuffed cigarette is obtained and the disposable packaging, namely the tubular packaging envelope, can be discarded.
- an additional device namely a stuffing device with a piston
- the consumer holds the protruding or protruding outer end of the packaging from the cigarette paper sleeve with his fingers, preferably his index finger and thumb, and then with a loose, free-hand-handled
- the piston or the pen can be provided with appropriate markings in order to enable the fine cut to be transferred safely and completely from the partial packaging into the cigarette paper sleeve.
- the stuffing density of the fine cut in the somewhat longer-shaped fine-cut portion packaging according to the invention should in principle be somewhat lower than is desired in the somewhat shorter and later stuffed cigarette paper sleeve.
- the end product is a self-made cigarette with the desired and customary plug density.
- Standard cigarette paper tubes for example, have a diameter of 8.0 mm and a length of 69 mm and are usually additionally equipped with a filter mouthpiece.
- the length of the suitable fine-cut packs of packaging can be varied, for example in a range from 75 to 84 mm in length, whereby after the tubular packaging has been completely inserted into the standard sleeve, it protrudes about 5 to 15 mm from it and thus easily coexists with it two fingers can be held at the free end.
- the length of the end of the tubular packaging protruding from the cigarette paper sleeve is approximately 10 mm.
- the diameter of the tubular packaging can also be varied, the maximum value being in the range of about 7.9 mm and just allowing insertion of the packaging.
- the introduction of the packaging into the cigarette paper sleeve is facilitated, although the length of the packaging should be increased if the plug density is maintained.
- the minimum value of the diameter of the tubular packaging is limited by practical considerations and also by the structure of the packaged fine cut. If the diameter is too small, it will be difficult to push out a fine-cut filling that is too long or compressed more tightly.
- customary cigarette paper tubes with a filter and a chamber with a length of 69 mm and a diameter of 8.0 were used mm diameter used.
- the preferred stuffing densities of the fine cut partial packaging according to the invention are at least 4 to 20% lower than for the desired end product, namely the stuffed cigarette paper sleeve.
- the preferred stuffing density is in a range below 4 to 10% and with a total length of 84 mm from 15 to 20% below the desired packing density of the end product.
- Fine-cut partial packaging of the above dimensions can be manufactured with tobacco quantities of approximately 600 to 850 mg.
- a fine-cut endless strand was coated with a paper-clad aluminum foil in a thickness of 20 ⁇ m and a paper lamination of about 30 g / m 2 .
- the inside of the film was completely coated with a lubricating varnish based on nitrocellulose and had a coefficient of static friction of 0.46 measured according to DIN 53 375.
- the stuffing density of the fine-cut insert was 176 mg / cm 3 , using 60% by weight of expanded tobacco.
- Example 2 Fine-cut partial packaging was produced in a length of 75 and 84 mm and with a diameter of 7.9 mm, a paper-laminated aluminum foil with a thickness of 20 ⁇ m having a sliding friction coefficient of 0.2 and one measured on the inner surface Paper lamination of approximately 35 g / m 2 was used. A separate gluing could be dispensed with, because of the sealability of the lubricating varnish with a Heat sealing device a uniform sealing of the seam could be made possible. The results corresponded to those of Example 2.
